Our programs and research are designed with one goal in mind: to help our community use business fundamentals to tackle social and environmental problems. But we can only do this work with your help.
Through the generous support of the Rustandy Center’s donors, our initiatives are driving social sector innovation and having real impact. We invite you to join them in supporting our work.
"The Rustandy Center was so important to me as a student because the staff there helped me to deepen my understanding of opportunities I had to use my MBA to contribute to social impact. I continue to donate to the Rustandy Center because I truly believe this is such an important piece of our business education and am inspired by the work the center has done.”

By integrating Chicago Booth’s multidisciplinary approach to business education with experience-based learning, we’re tackling the critical issues of our time.
We do this by offering programs such as our Innovating for Social Equity event series and by training budding entrepreneurs who are tackling complex problems like a slow judicial system and a resource-scarce sub-Saharan Africa. We also help students work alongside community leaders, including on a new economic development project in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood.
We’re grateful to our community of donors, whose support over the years has buoyed our research and events and the courses we facilitate. Make a gift today to support our efforts to equip our community members with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to develop effective and sustainable solutions to pressing challenges.
